My name is Dani Schenker. I'm a creator, writer, and indie maker with a long-standing presence on Product Hunt. Having been active on the platform for more than 1,000 consecutive days, I’ve witnessed hundreds of launches, trends, and makers come and go. This streak isn’t about collecting badges. Rather, it reflects years of showing up, learning from other founders, supporting the community, and developing an in-depth understanding of how early-stage products gain traction. My role often sits at the intersection of creativity and experimentation, which is why Product Hunt has always been one of my favorite spaces.

What is Product Hunt?Product Hunt is a platform where creators launch new digital products, apps, tools, and ideas to a global audience. Every day is fresh: new products are posted, the community votes and comments, and gives feedback. It’s a place where you can test an idea, gain traction, and acquire your first users, often within hours.People use Product Hunt because it acts as a discovery engine for innovation. For founders, it’s a launchpad. For early adopters, it’s a playground. For investors and journalists, it’s a radar for what’s coming next. A mix of curiosity and community keeps Product Hunt alive, and its daily ranking system adds a bit of healthy competition.

Some great launches

Why Makers Love It:Here's what makes Product Hunt stand out:

  • Instant Distribution: Your product can reach thousands of potential users within a single day.

  • Built-in feedback loop: Comments often include feature suggestions, bug reports, and encouragement.

  • New Audiences: You reach people outside your usual circle, including users, investors, founders, and the press.

How Startups and Indie Makers Can Get ExposureProduct Hunt is powerful, but it works best when you prepare well. Exposure doesn't happen by accident. It's a combination of timing, community, and smart distribution.

- An honest overview of the problem you're solving
- Visuals that communicate value, such as screenshots, GIFs, or a demo video.
- Add a friendly maker's comment that sets the tone.2. Build momentum before launch:You don't need a huge audience, just an active one. Here are a few steps to help you do that:- Tell your existing users or followers about your launch date.
- Engage with the Product Hunt community before launching.
- Connect with other makers who can support your post.3. Be present during launch day:Product Hunt rewards interaction. On launch day:- Reply to comments quickly.
